Briefly stated, the facts of the case are that assessee's case was selected for scrutiny on the ground, inter alia, of 'Suspicious sale transaction in shares (Penny stock tab in ITS)'. The Assessing Officer (AO) observed that the assessee declared exempt long term capital gain on sale of shares pertaining to PS IT I&SL amounting to Rs. 19.32 lakh. As per the investigation report available with him, the AO noticed that the scrip of PS IT I&SL was used for providing accommodation entries to several parties, which was also banned by the SEBI for its illegal activities. The assessee was called upon to establish the genuineness of the transaction of long term capital gain. The assessee tendered .....

Placing reliance on the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in Sumati Dayal vs. CIT (1995) 214 ITR 801 (SC) and CIT vs. Durga Prasad More (1971) 82 ITR 540 (SC), the AO applied the test of human probabilities and declared the long term capital gain shown by the assessee as non-genuine. Considering the judgment of Hon'ble Bombay High Court in Sanjay Bimalchand Jain L/H of Shantidevi Bimalchand Jain vs. The Pr. CIT, the AO made addition of Rs. 19.32 lakh. The ld.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision of the ITO, which was reversed by the Hon'ble High Court. Reversing the verdict of the Hon'ble High Court, their Lordships noticed that though the assessee made a claim that income of the property was not his and produced conveyance executed in his favour and the deed of settlement executed by his wife, nearly about a year after the conveyance, however, when the ITO asked the assessee about the source from which his wife got the amount, apart from saying that it was 'sthridhan' property, he failed to disclose any source from which his wife could have got the amount for purchasing the .....

This shows that a decision based on the attending circumstances and human probabilities does not get vitiated if there are compelling reasons to reject the frontage of a transaction based on the socalled evidence, which is nothing more than a mere paper work. 7. In view of the factual and legal position discussed above, it is crystal clear that PS IT I&SL is a penny stock company and the assessee obtained only accommodation entries in the garb of long term capital gain from transfer of its shares, for which an appropriate addition has rightly been made and upheld by the authorities below.
